URL shortening page, safe website

People have obviously been using the XRL metamark service to hide bad links, I have used the webpage and service for a very long time to shorten URLs to a respectable length. Bear in mind that its not the provider, but the users that are giving this service a bad reputation....

This is a URL shortener, as noted by many other people. There's little sense in showing the reputation of xrl.us itself, rather then the reputation of the pointed-to site.

Is a spammed comment on facebook, and can distribute malware

since this is a 'TinyURL' site, it will hold redirects to any site.
MyWOT should drill through to the real site;
it is nonsense to rate xrl.us on the basis of the target web.

URL Shortener from Metamark (http://www.metamark.net). Not a scam or phishing site. It all depends on the actual site. Works like TinyURL.

metamark.net is a URL database,
something like TinyURL.
The way it works is like this:
Somebody enters a long URL.
If that is already in the database,
the computer issues the existing token.
If it is not in the database,
the computer generates a new URL.
It is purely controlled by software,
there is no human intervention.
Anyone can use these URL compression services,
and spammers love them. Spammers need to hide
their domain names from spam filters,
and this is one way to do it.
So, if you get a spam with a link like >
hxxp://iamascammer.c/pqrst
then report it to the site owner.
According to web standards, this should
be a standard email > abuse@ adding on the domain name.
email addresses that I have found to work, mostly >

webmaster@ ...
admin@ ...
postmaster@ ...
